Michael Kors puts a plus-size model on the runway

Author: Web Desk

NEW YORK: Ashley Graham became the first model beyond a size 12 to walk on the Michael Kors runway on Wednesday at the New York Fashion Week 2017.

This shift in the paradigm is an exciting look forward, and hopefully a message to all designers that inclusion is the new normal. According to Micheal Kors, “I don’t like it when the models all look the same,” he said at the time. “To me it’s so incredibly boring to turn them into mannequins, it’s so much more interesting if we have different ages, ethnicities, body types, heights.”

Ashley Graham said in an interview, “Fashion isn’t such a small world anymore. It’s broadening into all kinds of beauty. It’s about race, it’s about size, it’s about age. And when a designer isn’t just talking about it, but they’re putting their money where their mouth is? I think that’s the most beautiful thing.”
